PARIS, SEPT. 27.—. Yesterday their Imperial Ma jesties took their departure from Paris for Fontain bleat]. The Imperial Guard has given an entertainment 4 to the Portuguese Legion, The Portuguese exhi"- bited the utmost enthusiasm at the idea of going to Portugal to fight against the English, to Undeceive their countrytnen, . and to induce them to pay their tribute of admiration to the Emperor, wk►om the Portuguese Legion ha 4 followed to the field of hat tie, whew they partook 'al the glory of the French armies. This Legion is composed of th e ch o i c e men of the : Army ot Portugal, and the Officers belonging to it, for the greater part, are ot the most considerable families of the country.' The 'return of this Legion. to Portugal %ill be t he best answer to the atrocious libels'and unfounded calumnies of the English, who have not tailed to repteseni to ►heir cOuntrymeri that the whole of this 14,gtun has been either poisoned ar e ,assassinated.

The Eng;ish captured pile:of them, and the remainder sotOtt re fuge in Bodenhageiti where there was a detachment of troops. The enctny continued to fire upon the vessels, and they were answered tiorn the corps on the coat, under Lieutenants Melenthin and Boltzig, after ‘Nlitch.the Englillisetired. The gaipoon was called. out 4tni every prtpration made, in expecta do!, that toe) would' return during the night . ,• but the enemy finding we w.f-re so well guarded, did nor fit . .to make any attempt. The garrist.in was under arms the whole night. . The Hero, Captain NEWMAN, .having lately ar rived at Portsmouth froin her station in the brogs with \ her the intelligence of the following distressing event, which lately happened to a part of her crew :—Two boats of the.above-mentioned ship were ordered -to cruize. against the Danish privateers and row-boats, on the 13th of August.— One, which was commanded by Liettt. Jenks, upset in a violent Squall, but, by the great exertions of. Mr.' Henry -Wittenoont, the Officer in the other, Lieut. Jenks, and seven of his men, were saved, and nine drowned. In this deplorable state, with a boat too deeply laden in consequence et this in crease, they re.olved to attempt to save their lives by running their boat on shore at Rostock, in which they succeeded,. though nearly exhausted, and land ed in safety.. At that awful period, the. night corning on, and the storm increasing, they were (horrible to relate, and scarcely will it be believed in civilized Europe !) again forced to .sea 'by the Mecklenburgh soldiers, and abandoned to the fury of the elements, which.their boat being unable to contend with, was soon after struck by a wave, ,which tilled her, and she instantly went. to the bot tom, three only of her crew being washed on shore by clinging to some spars, and the two Officers and fifteen men were drowned! The surviving flee. declare, every appeal _was made to the Officers' bu inanity to let them stay till the gale abated, and they offered to surrender themselves prisoners of war—but all to no purpose, for they aaually drove them to their fate with the point of the bayonet ! Such an act of inhurnanity, in a civilised country, is scarcely to be credited. Captain N. upon hear ing this, instantly sent in a 'flag of truce, with a let ter to the Duke of Mecklenburgh, to demand 'jus tice on the heads of those unfeeling brutes, and 16 request, that it the bodies were found, they might be decently interred.—Mr. Wintenoom , was just entering into his 21st year, and was on the eve of promotion, for bravely capturing, with an inferior force, a few days before, a Danish privateer and her prize. ' X letter from Gibraltar, dated Sept. 7, says, have only time to add, that upwards of eleven hun dred French deserters have at rived is this garrison within a month past." The Halsted and Bocking Coach was overturned on Friday, near the thirteenth mile stone, on the Rumford road; The accident was occasioned by the linch-pin of the fore wheel coming out, and the wheel running off. The coach was fully laden in side and out, providentially, however, none of the passengers sustained any injury, except what arose from the fright , aud a few alight bruises.

THE THEATRE.—The .audienCe had an - .e.xcellept treat last night at the Lyceam, Mrs. GLovna', performance of. Lady - Teazle. We shall nut cuter into, 'comparisons; but. we may fairly, say, that the chlrataer was Oever.suppottedwith rrwre , ruth and ~The gaiety, archisess, anditutnour, ill some parts, w're admirably iti contrast with those sit re sentmentleckntrition; and sensibility, in others,. and the 'vvligle iiianifested. the .powers of a firs'-rate comic aalress. • WROUGHTOW; who is always jtidi cious, was last night more ' than usually 4iiiipateci, and`gave the part Of Sir Peter with a'colouring of huniour, as well as an exatt.outline:• . CABE took the part of Sir Oliver, vice PowToti. Hedis played a just conception of the charader, 'and was a very respectable representave of it. PEWI4 should have been the Crabtree instead of PENLEY.—Sir Benjamin and Moses were sustained in the good old style by PALMaR and WE WITZER, and the Comedy altogether went off with eclat.. , Mr, HA MERTON, who - performed Allirtocli De lany at• Covent-puden Theatre, Jail 'light appeared in the charaCter of Dennis Brulgruddery, in'which fie was much more successful, and obtained a-Conii derable share, of applause. • It is highly gratifying to find that preparations are making in various places to celebrate theapprOach ' ing anniversary of his MAJESTY'S accession 10 lilt throne, which he has so , long adOrned with every virtue: The Tyrant oldie Continent may boast, that' he Walked among his subjeds with ease - and confi dence,' but as it has been truly stated; the. occasions are always studiously prepared, and he is surround ed by his own spies, whO are perpetually :on the Watch for his safety. Yet even then'he must move trepidation,iii lest some hand, to avenge 'personal in justice of to rescue mankind, should suddenly be against him. But our good Monarch is never seen but• With 'heart-felt love and.veneration,. and be May be truly said to walk among his. people like a revered parent in the midst of an• afletionate fa mily. , HORNS TOOBE, it seems,'has only a leate of she premises where he has thought. proper to select a piece of ground for the purpose ot occupying when dead. The next tenant may not perhaps like to have his garden planted with, the seedy of de inoeracy. - .• The Coffre-dam at the Limehonse, entrance of the West India Docks, erected fur. the purpose of keeping out the water, while the btolding'ot the wing- Nall of the lock was going on, gave v , ay on Wednesday. At-nearly high water in the atternUon,. the Workmen ethployed in excavating the earth fur- the_ foundation, having observed the 'water to' burst underneath the piles, were s ordereci to ‘ temove iumirdiately from the darn. The confidence, bow ,ver, reposed in its security, from the iinmense strength of the braces, &c. was still sueli, that hopes were entolamed. that it would nut entirely give way. But in a few minutes, the piles (which sere up wards of thirty-feet long) were tweed perpendiculaily. into the air, the water of course filled tne : darn, and the effects were immediately felt. in the bacon, though'not to the exteut that . might have.beeu ex-'' :peeled. Fortunately no lives were lost. • The situation of the darn was so much exposed that not less than .frum thirty to forty vessels passed every . tide. Many of these, in passing .(notwith standing every exertion on the part of the cloCk4• Master) came with a severe crash against, the dam - ,' and froth this circumstance, ..and the pressure of about fifteen hundred thousand tons of water, the blowing np of the whole was not to be won dered at. Dispatches are said to have been received, • an nouncing a revolution in Cihil, and was rapidly pre ceeding.

Extraa of a letter from Yarmouth, dated 3d Odi " We had an alarm of a privateer being off this coast on Saturday. It was stated that a French lugger had captured two or three vessels,o*nd that a collier's crew, of five persons, had been given their boat, and" sent on shore at Happisburgh. All the vessels of war ready in the Roads were sent to sea and proceeded with great alacrity; hut it is now supposrd, the five persons that landed near Flasbro' 'were deserters that rau away with a boat from a prize in the Roads on Saturday night, or early on Sunday . mianing." ,r • s r, • SPORTINd N t 1.7 MARKET - .FIIZSi: E • - , • , tgu'R.,3lllti Y ocr, + Mr Howorth'sl4vAlid, 74r I ZIO 4 4 t Ld A.iekvit s ceivcr, 8.0.
